All the more reason for a National Black Youth think tank, headed by our Black scholrs in the field and supported and funded by all of us.
It is uncontionable to think that no one was there an how in the hell were ther no parents anywhere around a school dance.

Many things have changed since we were that age, especialy music hat celebrates fratricide, drug clockin, and degredation of women.

What got me about this when I read it was first that it was a spectator sport to some people, standing around and watching it.
But if that wasn't sad enough, the police said they were checking social web sites for pics & videos. What the H*** has this place come to when people take pictures & vids like they were on vacation or something; then post it on the net for people to look at.
Sick!
So Sick!

This story, and all the challenges we face, make me wonder if there is any hope for us as a people.

there is more then hope but sadly we have become complacent.
Back in 93 I can say this now publicly, since my real name is not present, but suffice to say I was in a bitter outrage and seeking brothers from my firm to organize and volunteer to goto a pool were sisters were being raped in public,
to act as real security and break a few bones to let folks know we were serious.

The sad thing was most brothers said the situation was sad and others realy just did no care.

Our collective complacency
allows these situations to escalate

and only our collective indignation and action will put an end to these things.

Thanks for Sharing Brother Ankhur....

I say it's time to get and be M.A.D. Men/Mothers of Afreekan Descent

When we stop allowing ourselves to FEEL....ish like this happens...imhpo (in my humble & professional opinion)

collective and righteous indignation, experiencing the FEELINGS and using that to take appropriate Actions is the order of the day.
It is my prayer/meditation that you, me and others do not give up or give in ..."despite of and inspite of cruff"

"Sicken in dey head TOTALLY insane" (Macka B)

It does surely seem that violence and crime is a "spectator sport". Heck just look at our "news"....As I overstand it the motto is "If it bleeds it leads"
What message are the youth to take from that
